Go. Not.
Last night the husband and I attempted to teach ourselves to play Go (I know, shut it). As it turns out, I am a sore loser when I have PMS and my husband is really good at Go. Thus, we aren’t playing that one again, LOL. We played a variation, Reversi, which I was much better at (as in, I won maybe 1 in 10 games which is enough for me). This is what I get for marrying a genius, sigh.
Similarly, he’s holding out the other half of my Lost purse until I finish his hat, tricky bastard. So I’m working on the hat today, lol. I did finish part one of the purse though, see it below the cut…
I have to embroider “DHARMA” in the center, but otherwise, done! I got great jungley batik fabric to go inside, when it is ready.

OMG that is so awesome - with the 8 Chinese trigrams! Why is it your Lost purse? Is that from the TV show? I’m with Susan . . . WANNNNNT! Maybe you could share the pattern, and I’ll try to crochet one for myself? *bats eyes fetchingly* Pretty please?
Because that totally rules!
Also . . . Go! Hee! I haven’t played that in years. I don’t remember being good, but I don’t remember sucking too bad, either. I did have some friends in North Carolina who were SERIOUS Go players, though - they went to tournaments and stuff. They were scary. Nice, fun, wonderful people - but scary.
(Now I’m wishing I had posted this comment to the LJ - because I’m pretty sure I have a trigram icon over there. I used to, anyway).

What I have is a color chart, if you can work off one of those you’re more than welcome!
The show Lost “borrowed” the I Ching for their logo–the Dharma Initiative is a mysterious research facility that started in the seventies-ish.
Here’s a good pic of the logo I was aiming for (spoilers at that site so watch out):

Good job, I love to crochet. I may try it myself.

I thought crochet was a lost art and does anyone embroider anymore? I grew up embroidering dish towels and can’t tell you how many afghans I’ve crocheted. Both were my way of relaxing.

I highly support crochet as a fun, easy and relatively cheap past time. It totally soothes the damaged soul.
